CityBusiness announces 2011 Leadership in Law honorees, nearly half tied to Tulane Law

January 20, 2011

Started in 2005, CityBusiness’ Leadership in Law recognizes 50 area legal professionals in four categories: firm associated, court associated, in-house counsel, and educators. Twenty of those making the 2011 list have ties to Tulane Law School.
